Episode X

By Edward Teach

In a highly controversial episode banned from terrestrial television, Mulder and Scully arrive at the Memorial to investigate a conspiracy theory. Having somehow contrived to go from sublime to ridiculous within the space of just a few days on a regular basis, the bickering FBI agents are brought in to find out just who or what is behind these regular anomalies. But by whom?

The trollop is looking shifty and tries to sell them a Dalek and a Spanish Waiter for twenty quid and a piece of Krypronite.

Then a secret meeting on an unsteady gantry high up in the Memorial with a mysterious character who introduces himself (or herself) as Deep Shit, convinces Mulder that he is onto something. Deep Shit suggests that several of the warriors are often replaced by trial alien beings created in a lab by a Smoking Man. However, they often find it hard to adjust to the environment and sometimes can't cope with the atmospheric pressure in the Memorial. As a result it is believed that they would never survive in the League One Galaxy.

Mulder stumbles upon this lab and the Smoking Man, who appears to be siphoning spiked tea into one of the Alien Beings as it lays spreadeagled on a treatment table. Inevitably, it is all whisked away from before his eyes moments before Scully arrives to deride him for his crackpot ideas. She puts her hands on her hips, scowls at him, pouts and leaves many of the teenage male viewers reaching for a box of Kleenex, while Mulder tries to show some kind of emotion.

Needless to say he fails and the conspiracy remains a mystery.

Are Lennie Bennett and the trollop relieved? Are they mere pawns in a far bigger conspiracy involving Deep Shit, the Smoking Man and an alien invasion from within the TARDIS to prevent the Memorial getting into the League One Galaxy? And are the Memorial Overseers, mysterious men in big coats and with their fingers stuck in lots of pies, party to all this?
Or is this all a load of old training balls and the warriors ability to fight and be victorious just randomly incompetent or brilliant, depending on everyday variables like the weather, the tactics or how many WKD's they had in The Works the night before?
